It is a bad market. Wait for things to improve

Recruiter

Some time back layoffs happened at Linkedin and the people who were let go by the firm were finding it tough to search the job through LinkedIn.. just saying… !

Same bro. None are replying. Where to apply then?

this system worked for me very well to get calls.   
    
  Go to LinkedIn.   
  In search, put "<job title> hiring".   
  Select "Past 24 hours" filter.   
  Find a post you like, research company.   
  If you like it, apply in their given method (email, link etc).   
  Send a connect request with note to the person who posted the opening.   
  They may accept or ignore but they will see your profile.   
  So keep a stellar profile, highlight wins, portfolio and achievements.   
    
  This method has advantages:  
  You'll definitely be among the first applicants. You'll jump ahead of many lazy applications.   
  You're directly getting the eye balls of the recruiter (a person instead of a computer).   
  If they accept your connection, share your phone number and get the ball rolling.   
    
  After that it's your communication skills and talent. Good luck my friend.

Is LinkedIn useless?

Software Test - QA

Is LinkedIn useless?- Grapevine

I'm incredibly frustrated with LinkedIn's job application process. It seems like the job tab never works effectively, and I wonder if others share my experience. Despite applying to jobs using the "Easy Apply" and directly on company websites with a well-crafted resume and complete information, I've never received a response.

I question the authenticity of these job postings and whether HR professionals actually review the applications. If they do, what is their process? How do they sift through the numerous applications? It feels like my efforts are in vain, and the lack of feedback is disheartening.

Hey guys. I’ve been searching for jobs on LinkedIn for a while now, there’s either no response or a template rejection. Does job search through LinkedIn work or not?

If not, please suggest other effective ways- considering the market now and the layoff volumes. Thank you!

Job search through LinkedIn - works or not?

Data Scientist

Does LinkedIn not work anymore? I always try to connect people or text them and it's always silence on the other side. Idk what will help me to level up I wanna switch but it's useless if no one wants to even interact.

LinkedIn Broken?!?

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

Hi folks,

I need some guidance to switch my current company.As UI developer, I've been working for three years in my project.But in unable to crack my technical interview.Before interview I'm preparing a lot to answer those questions.but I fail there...is there any tips to achieve my interviews and get placed in new company...Would appreciate if I get any solution

Switching over to other company

I happen to finally go for premium since I ran out of invites. And bro I’ve been bombarded with job suggestions left and right . I have applied for 3-4 hours straight, just can’t believe it.
Just a day back my feed was dry as a desert.
So if you’re looking for jobs go for Premium at least till you get few offers

LinkedIn premium is nuts

Infrastructure Engineer

Finding direct job opportunities with organizations can be challenging through career sites due to the overwhelming number of listings. It's unclear whether applying on LinkedIn results in direct communication with HR or if it's merely for display. I haven't received any direct calls from companies after applying on LinkedIn. Only we will get the calls from consultancies through naukri, Consultancies often prioritize immediate joiners, which isn't feasible for those with notice periods like 90 or 60 days. Any valid suggestions are highly appreciated.

Challenges in Finding job

I have been actively (almost desperately) looking for a job switch for almost 6 months now. I have applied to probably 300+ companies. I have used LinkedIn, Instahyre, Naukri. Hardly got 10 call backs over all. 

So, do you guys think paying 8.3k for a yearly LinkedIn subscription would be worth it for me?( I have already used up the trial plan a year ago).
 Anybody noticed some  improvement in recruiter calls after going premium?

LinkedIn Premium worth it?

I usually get calls from recruitment firms not from direct companies.

And i feel LinkedIn is useless and never gets calls from the recruiter, how you get calls and get to know about opportunities. ?

Is naukri.com good for job hunting ?

I must have applied for dozens of jobs on LinkedIn job portal. At times companies don't reply or I mostly get automated rejection emails. 
PS - I'm someone with more than a decade and a half experience. So my target roles are a little senior.

Has anyone found a job via LinkedIn?

Solution Architect

I see that there are no calls and LinkedIn is primarily useless bcoz of very few replies. Naukri.com is not worth it in product companies and there are very few opportunities. Instahyre is working but few recruiters are reaching out.

Is there some way of getting good calls. I am missing?

How are you guys applying?

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Whenever I apply for any job though LinkedIn or the company job portal. I usually don't get any call backs.
What should I do. What process did you guys follow while applying for jobs off campus.

Not getting callback

Do posting consistently on LinkedIn to get likes, comments, and shares and more followers and connections help in getting more opportunities, especially for freshers?

I have observed a few freshers and many professionals nearly posting daily on LinkedIn. They post primarily their personal opinions and anything different they do in their professional life, such as certifications, their own articles, something new they tried, visits, and even (mainly women) adding their workplace photos with even irrelevant posts.

I have no problem with anything they do, but I want to know if it helps build one's career.

Does popularity on LinkedIn matter especially for freshers?

Civil Engineer

Recently I have joined a seemingly good company. Since a while, I have witnessed a surge of linkedin request and I have accepted all of them, I even referred everyone who asked, gave them tips on their resume also and responded properly to everyone's query.
However, lately I have witnessed that many linkedin connections are sort of from less known companies or freshers. The thing is even I want to move ahead further and thus want to connect with people at a better position than me, but as recently many of my connections have been fresher or from lesser known companies thus my mutual connections and suggestion have been also like same.
I have been thinking of removing some of my recent connections, basically those who just sent request and since then have not pinged related to anything referral etc. I am unable to decide if I am a ad person for doing so.
Basically I would be myself doing what they have done, so I am feeling a bit guilty if I do so, but on the other hand I also think that I have not rejected anyone's request till now and even I future won't do so, I just don't want to fill my connection with people who are just randomly sending request to everyone.

Please help me..

Am I  a bad person if I remove those LinkedIn connections who are not from very famous companies and also just seems to increase their connection list

I have been applying via LinkedIn Easy Apply from a long time but never got any response. Any HRs who know where does the CV land after applying there? 

Has anyone ever got a call via LinkedIn Easy Apply? If yes, which company please comment.

LinkedIn Easy Apply Scam?

Product Marketing Manager

Most of the people just keep adding so many irrelevant pictures to their posts!! I mean what do they get out of it. If it’s anything to do with regards to the picture, I understand. Other than that, it has become a trend to add photos to the posts. They say they will have greater reach and greater views. It’s so annoying. I don’t understand the difference between Instagram and LinkedIn. Most of the time I feel Instagram is better than LinkedIn. All these so called entrepreneurs have also started doing this shit and feels 😖😣

LinkedIn pe rant!
